Maul is probably close to ROTS Kenobi in lightsaber combat. Dooku is just a bit better than Kenobi in lightsaber combat and it will take him time to break Obi-Wan's powerful Soresu defense. Therefore, Maul might not certainly beat Tyrannus in a lightsaber contest, but yet he's certainly capable of lasting a minute or two.

Yes, it is. Kenobi is already a kevel 6 or 7 swordsman, not the strongest but allright, while Jinn is nearly as strong as Windu.
Ahreed, but he wasn't far from it, and, in his TPM state, he was nearly as strong as Windu (since it's in the TPM novel that says this).
Actually, for the msot part he seemed pretty calm to me, he wasn't like AOTC Anakin and he was already probably on the level of most knights. Taking him and someone close to Windu's level, 2 on 1, while not at your full strength, and being pretty much on par with them is saying something.
Due to Kenobi's luck. For 99% of the duel he was eitehr on par with them or winning. Surely him being at full strength would have gotten rid of that one percent.
He led the Jedi during Jedi Council: Acts of War, he certainly didn't fight as good in it as he did in AOTC/ROTS but he still seemed to bethe strongest Jedi there. When he faught Dooku before TPM and lost how close was it?
I don't know, all I knmow is TNEGTC (the new essential guide to characters) states that they faught and Maul enarly killed him.
Yes, he did, but Maul was cocky, any Sith would have been - Sidious and Maul's was actually a duel.
I find it hard to believe, too. But both Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter and The Cestus Deception state that she is "The Order's Finest Swordsman" and "second to none". And Maul beat her. So, going by that logic, as far as sword skills go, Maul > Anoon > Yoda > Dooku.
Sorry, I can't, I don't own the book and haven't actually seen it myself. Someone told me it said that and I assumed they were telling the truth.
No, Juyo was 100% complete. Vaapad, which was a variation of Dooku, wasn't 100% complete. But Juyo was. Dooku didn't use Juyo ever - that scene in AOTC was deleted and in EU Dooku states his distaste for that form.
Sith'ari, I like you allright, but you're being a dumbass. Goodbye now.
